Nearly 20 games won't make the jump.

On June 6, Nintendo will release its first global system update for the Nintendo 3DS. In addition to the eShop and Internet Browser, gamers will be able to finally transfer DSiWare purchased on a Nintendo DSi to the Nintendo 3DS.

Nintendo illustrates the complicated transfer process.

Nintendo hasn't specified precisely how this function will work, but it has revealed a list of 19 games that won't transfer. There's no specific reason why these games will not work.

In addition to being able to transfer existing games, hundreds of DSiWare titles will be made available through the 3DS eShop. Keep in mind that existing Nintendo DSi or Wii points will only work on those systems. The 3DS eShop will only deal in actual currency.
